As thick as my skin has become about the insults routinely tossed at my lifelong home State, those "Which Exit?" jokes have gotten stale. And not long ago, after hearing someone who has been in just a few States refer to Jersey as "The Garbage State", I constructed a list of license plate pejoratives for all the States I've visited. If - like me - you're a proud Jersey Boy or Girl, let's retaliate, OK?
California - Like, totally!
Kansas - Forgettable - like the band.
Massachusetts - Kennedy, Inc.
Minnesota - Closed Nov-Feb.
North Dakota - Anybody home?
Utah - Where Church & State Meet
Warning: Full list of forty six - available upon request - is for mature audiences only.

- My most recent single release - "My True North" - is now available on Bandcamp. Open my profile and click on "audio clip".
I don't have any good ones to add to your list. I agree Jersey gets a bad rap. I have lived here since 1991 and love it, especially now that I live three blocks from the ocean. As you know I teach Nia - a fusion fitness practice. A teacher from Seattle who travels cross country with his dog and teaches Nia classes where he lands, came to visit us two years ago. He was working on a routine with all of the individual states and I chose the song "Jersey Girls Don't Pump Gas" to represent us. Another bennie of living in the Garden State!
